When it comes to high value sports related collectibles, sports autographs are among the best. Whether it’s an autographed baseball bat, basketball jersey or a football helmet, autographed merchandise can be worth its weight in gold. If you are interested in getting some sports autographs, but you don’t know where to look, here’s a quick guide to help you build up your collection.
1. Right from the source
One of the easiest ways to get sports autographs is simply to go to games and ask the players for them directly. Most will more than willing to offer autographs, but it is best to wait until after the game is over before you approach them. The majority of arenas will have an area set up where the fans can interact with the players. It will be up to the individual players as to whether or not they will actually sign something, but most will. This is the most economical way to get a sports autograph, since you will only need to purchase the item that you want to have signed. As a plus, these autographs are often personalized, making them even more special to the collector.
2. From licensed vendors
You can get authentic sports autographs from licensed vendors that have worked out an agreement either with a certain league or with an individual player. These stores will typically have a wide variety of merchandise available and it is fairly easy to get a hold of a popular player’s autograph this way. The major downside for many consumers is that these stores do charge premium prices for the merchandise they sell.
3. From other private collectors
If you are looking for vintage or rare sports autographs, this is a great way to find them. Private collectors will sometimes have a disbursement sale, or you can attend auctions and pick up some great deals. Once again, the prices will probably be a little high, but you will have access to a wide variety of different types of autographed merchandise.
4. At online auctions
This has become one of the most popular ways to get sports autographs. You can find literally thousands of different autographs online and many sellers have built up a great reputation for providing authentic merchandise. However, it is smart to be cautious when buying sports memorabilia online since there are some sellers that do take advantage of people. Ask for certificates of authenticity, or have the item appraised before you buy to ensure that you are getting authentic autographs.
These are just a few ways that the average collector can get their hands on sports autographs. Wherever you shop, just take the time to do your homework to make sure that you are getting a real piece of sports memorabilia. By following this step, you can be assured that your autograph will have more than just sentimental value.
Collecting sports autographs is a great hobby for kids and can help them get involved in sports. In addition, it serves as a great way to spend more quality time with your kids.
